Objective: To investigate the frequency distribution features of innate-like lymphocytes (iNKT cells, γΔT cells and B1 cells) in peripheral blood of normal adults.
Methods: The flow cytometry with 6 fluorescence staining was used to detect the percentages of iNKT lymphocytes, γΔT lymphocytes, B1 lymphocytes and adaptive T lymphocyte, B2 lymphocytes in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 50 normal adults. The difference and correlation between these lymphocyte subsets were analyzed by statistical software.
Results: The percentage of iNKT cells in peripheral blood of 50 normal adults was 0.18% (0.01%-2.01%), the percentage of γΔT cells was 4.90% (1.45%-20.14%), the percentage of B1 lymphocytes was 1.62% (0.20%-3.77%), the percentage of adaptive T cells was 63.52% (33.20%-83.22%), the percentage of B2 cells was 6.64% (3.07%-13.80%). B1 and B2 were two subsets of B lymphocyte, the percentage of B2 in B lymphocyte was 81.43% (57.90%-94.12%) and more than that of B1 lymphocyte; the percentage of B1 lymphocytes was 17.28% (5.28%-41.13%). In T lymphocyte group the percentage of iNKT cell was 0.32% (0.01%-3.6%), the percentages of γΔT cells and adaptive T cells were 7.55% (3.04%-27.66%) and 91.98% (72.22%-96.86%) respectively. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the percentages of several lymphocyte subsets. There was a positive correlation between iNK T cells and γΔT cells, γΔT cells and adaptive T cells, B1 cells and B2 cells (r=0.39, P=0.0056; r=0.6028, P<0.0001; r=0.4791, P=0.0004). It was also found that the percentage of iNKT cells in female peripheral blood lymphocytes was 0.29% (0.06%-2.01%), and significantly higher than that in male peripheral blood lymphocytes 0.12% (0.01%-1.37%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The percentages of γΔT cells, B1 cells and iNKT cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes of normal adults are significantly lower than that of adaptive lymphocytes, and their contents in peripheral blood decrease in turn. There are no sex differences in the percentages of these lymphocyte subsets except iNKT cells.

Unlabelled: Forming wound canal is one of the main signs of gunshot wound. Its features are related to the following differential diagnostic signs: presence of gunshot wound, its intravitality, prescription, direction of projectile (bullet) movement, power of used weapon, etc.
Objective: To study the mechanisms of wound canal formation in gunshot injury, the pattern of damage to the biological tissues of its walls (mainly, blood vessels), the features of hemorrhages forming around it.

Evidence indicates that transposable elements (TEs) can contribute to the evolution of new traits, with some TEs acting as deleterious elements while others are repurposed for beneficial roles in evolution. In mammals, some KRAB-ZNF proteins can serve as a key defense mechanism to repress TEs, offering genomic protection. Notably, the family of KRAB-ZNF genes evolves rapidly and exhibits diverse expression patterns in primate brains, where some TEs, including autonomous LINE-1 and non-autonomous Alu and SVA elements, remain mobile.

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a robust proinflammatory cytokine that activates immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells, to induce antitumor immunity. However, the clinical application of recombinant IL-12 has been limited by systemic immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and rapid degradation. To address these challenges, we employed mRNA technology to encode a tumor-activated IL-12 "lock" fusion protein that offers both therapeutic efficacy and systemic safety.

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are key regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox balance. Although intracellular SODs have been extensively studied, growing attention has been directed toward understanding the roles of extracellular SODs in both Dictyostelium and mammalian systems. In Dictyostelium discoideum, SodC is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored enzyme that modulates extracellular superoxide to regulate Ras, PI3K signaling, and cytoskeletal remodeling during directional cell migration.
